Recently my oldest son, 5 years old, received the new LeapPad from LeapFrog to review for free along with Disney Pixar Cars 2. The great thing about this learning tablet is that it takes the same cartridges as our Leapster Explorer. So when one boy isn't playing Disney Pixar Cars 2 on the LeapPad, he's playing it on the Leapster Explorer.

About the Game: In Disney Pixar Cars 2, children will join Mater and Lightening McQueen in a global race-turned-espionage tale. Along the way, children will practice measurements, problem-solving, graphs, sequencing and patterns.

I had to pry the game out of my son's hands to learn more about it to share with you. So that said, you can be sure he loved it on the LeapPad. And when he wasn't playing with Cars 2 on the LeapPad, my 4 year old was playing with it on the Leapster Explorer. But once I got my hands on it, I chose to play it on the LeapPad to share my thoughts with you.

From the Main Menu of the game there are 5 places to visit:

Adventure Mode: You drive around Radiator Springs finding collectibles. You can meet characters along the way to talk too. It lets you know when you can talk or stop somewhere. There are activities along the way, like customizing cars or keep Mater disguised using number sequencing. As you complete activities you can get badges.

Micromods: I haven't ever used micromods. You download them LeapWorld to change or enhance the game somehow. It could be new game music, character upgrades, game modes or moves, etc.

The only thing I was disappointed in was the packaging. I miss having a way to easily organize my games. I kept all previous Leapster Explorer Games in their boxes on a shelf, so the boys can easily find what they are looking for and put their games back. The new packaging has to be ripped apart to remove the game, leaving you with a loose game to easily misplace.

That is everything I discovered! Overall the game is pretty cute and I am impressed with the skills it's teaching. Cartridge games for Leapster Explorer and LeapPad usually retail for $24.99. If you find them less, it's a bargain.

I downloaded this on our 4-year old son's LeapPad2 because of his love for Disney's Cars. The game itself is very boring with limited time your child is actually doing anything. Your child plays as Mater driving around Radiator Springs and clicking to speak to the characters; however, most characters do nothing. For example, Lightning McQueen says something to the nature of "What's up Buddy" and you move on. His line is always the same no matter where you run into him. Occassional Mater runs into an unknown character or little known character like the van that visited Radiator Springs in Cars 1 and he cuts over to a mission with Finn McMissile for a few minutes. The missions with Finn are where the game play actually comes in. This is where I believe it is not age appropriate. The first mission is avoiding Grem from shooting Finn and clicking on different weapons to stop Grem. It seems confusing to my son being 4. He clicks on the pictures it asks him to but I'm not sure he really understands he is in a chase and does not avoid Grem shooting him. Another mission has Finn using a grappling hook to jump to a ship and you need to determine the length of rope you need to make it. Again, I think this is beyond a 4 year old's complete comprehension. I would list the age on this as age 5-7. Overall I would look elsewhere and not be sold on the Cars brand.

I bought this for my Grandsons 3 Birthday. & he loves it. He has collected almost all the stars & different stuff he needs to race & do the different games. He loves it so much!! & he doesn't even realize how much he is learning math wise.

My 4 year old son thinks this game is fun but unlike some other LeapPad games, it doesn't hold his attention for more than 10 minutes at a time. There aren't many mini games included and they really don't offer much in the way of repeated play. It's fine, but I wouldn't go out of my way to suggest a friend buy it for their child.

Cars 2 is my nephew's new favorite Leap Frog game! I use the game to spend quality time and bond with my newphew. I find this game a way to interact, ask question, and test him in his math skills. I figured if children love these games so much, why not untilize them as a tool to test there memory skills, as well as to sped quality time with them and not just send them away to play alone :) I lOVE MY NEPHEW!

This is a Christmas gift my grandson, I tried it out before I wrapped it, he is absolutely going to love this game. Did I tell you he is a fan of cars, lol. I will continue to add games to his leapfrog this is the first one for him, I know it is a good learning tool for him. Thanks for making such an amazing toy that is enjoyable and educational!
